Surrounded by lush nature and tropical plants, it feels like a private oasis. The ocean view and sunsets are breathtaking, and the peaceful sounds of nature make it a perfect retreat. The pool is clean, refreshing, and a great spot to relax and take in the beauty of Playa Grande. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway!

Keith’s Villa is great!
However, we booked for 7 people and when we get there only 3 double beds were ready.
When we inform the host about it we have been told where to find the bed sheets and to prepare the sofa bed by ourselves..

Response From: Grande Vacation Rentals

Hi Giorgio. Thanks for vacationing with us at Casa Alemendra. The sofa bed is exactly that. A sofa that can be turned into a bed. The bedding is provided but is left for guests set up like a sofa until they are ready to transform it into a bed. I apologize for any inconvenience, and we hope to have you as our guest again in the future. -KC

Alojamiento muy hermoso y con todas las comodidades, el anfitrión siempre muy flexible y anuente en brindarte ayuda. La vista del lugar es preciosa sin duda, algunos detalles mínimos pero esto no afecta en nada tu estadía. Regresaríamos sin duda alguna.

We had a great 5 night stay at this property. It is a beautiful house with lots of great outdoor space. The 2 decks are perfect and spacious, and a great pool that was a perfect temperature with amazing views, and some naps were taken in the hammock on the upper deck. It is up a gravel road a bit into the hills, but it's an easy drive to the beach where we found plenty of parking. Our first day was a Sunday and it was peaceful and quiet except for the occasional roar of the howler monkeys. There are a few houses still being built close by, so there was some noise from that the rest of the days but it wasn't too bad and a little music drowned it right out. AC was needed and worked well, kitchen was well appointed with everything you need. Marcelo was our point of contact and was very helpful with questions and also helped us line up some great beach horseback riding. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again.

Agréable séjour à la casa et retour rapide de l’hôte lorsque nécessaire!
Tout était propre et bien rangé. Toutes les commodités sont fonctionnels à l’intérieur (air climatisé, laveuse, sécheuse etc) Avisé lors des visites pour le ménage qui se faisait à 8h30 le matin.
La vue de la casa est magnifique tel qu’indiqué dans la description de l’endroit. Environnement tranquille et boisé en montagne. Noter que l’emplacement de la Casa dans la description n’est pas situé au bon endroit. Vous devez prendre un véhicule pour vous rendre à la plage qui est à plus ou moins 5 à 10 minutes en véhicule. Je tiens également à souligner qu’il y a construction d’une casa dans le secteur amenant du va et vient et du bruit durant le jour. De toute façon vous n’y échapperez pas car Playa Grande est en plein développement immobilier et il y a de la construction partout! Bref le séjour fut agréable malgré tous et si vous désirez être à l’écart et avoir de la tranquillité le soir vous êtes au bon endroit!

Unfortunately it’s mapped near ripjack inn near the beach - you can not walk it - if you stay here you definitely at least one car - maybe two if you have more then two people staying here
Place is beautiful if you are not interested in being near the beach
It’s about a 10 min drive

The house was absolutely amazing. It had everything we needed. The pool had a beautiful ocean view. Marcelo facilitated surfing lessons and fishing which was so appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and plan on returning.

Location of house is amazing. Beautiful and unobstructed views of ocean and mountains. Beach is 5 minute drive down the road, recommend parking in front of Rip Jacks for secure parking and great food after surf.

Lovely house with really great potential.
Pros:Property is beautiful - great pool & landscaping.Easy drive to all the restaurants & beach.Well equipped kitchen.Marcelo was awesome-great recommendations and answered questions very quickly
Cons:Bed configuration is incorrect-there are 2 queens and a double(no kings).Air conditioner in the primary bedroom works well but makes very loud noises that made it impossible to sleep with it running.Keith was responsive but it wasn't fixed during our stay (at our request as the team did not come to fix it when they originally said they would).House lost water a couple of times (fixed within a couple of hours).Located in a newer development which meant lots of construction noise during the day as houses are being built close by. Made it difficult to enjoy the pool at some points.Didn't feel like it was worth the current nightly rate considering the issues (and we have stayed in over 10 Airbnb properties throughout CR over the past few years)

There were a few mechanical issues with the house. Keith was very responsive and quickly solved the problems. This was especially impressive as even though this was between Christmas and New Years, he was still able to get the right people out to do the repairs.

This is a stunning house. The views are incredible. It was pure magic to wake up and have those fantastic views from the bed!!
The house is really well equipped with quality appliances and utensils.
Keith and Marcelo were both very friendly and made sure our time in Playa Grande was good.
You’ll need a car in order to stay here as it’s a bit of a way from the mais street, but nothing major. The house is a 7 minutes drive from the beach.
